Bob Odenkirk, what you've just helped to create is one of the most insanely awesome things the Coolest Geek Alive has most recently seen! At no point in your hysterical, fast-paced, hitman/family man action film were you even close to anything that could be considered boring. Every listener of this podcast will be better for having watched your film. We award you all of the points, and may God bless your soul eternally.

Before Invincible ever soared and The Walking Dead ever lurched onto the scene, there was one series that lit the spark, a wild, fearless, creator-owned book that proved anything was possible in comics. It just so happens to be my all-time favorite. Robert Kirkman and I bonded over this book as teenage superfans, and it shaped the way both of us saw the future of comics. In this episode of Coolest Geek Alive, I’m celebrating the legendary Erik Larsen and the series that inspired me, inspired Kirkman, and continues to burn as one of the most important creator-owned runs in history. This is more than nostalgia; it’s a reminder of the raw energy and independence that make comics the greatest storytelling medium on Earth.

Today on COOLEST GEEK ALIVE, we’re popping the champagne for Gina Carano, who just scored a massive out-of-court settlement with Disney after being wrongfully fired from The Mandalorian. A real victory for free speech in Hollywood! Then, we dive into X-Men ‘97 showrunner Beau DeMayo’s explosive Twitter thread on the ugly truth of Marvel Studios’ creative process — where good ideas get crushed, pitches based on source material are discouraged, and the mantra is just “make it fun.” Finally, we break down the jaw-dropping box office saga of Fantastic Four: First Steps, which has already outgrossed Captain America 4 and Thunderbolts in total… yet somehow managed to slip BELOW Thunderbolts in its third weekend. What the hell happened?
